Abstract
As an enlightening process, the principal and global intent of education are to enhance students’ cognitive abilities. Cognitive abilities induce progressive attainment and retention of learning skills that enable children to apply the attained information. Cognitive abilities can be improved by providing the right training to children. An in-depth longitudinal study was conducted to analyze the impact of educational intervention based on Gardner’s multiple intelligence on the cognitive abilities of the respondents. Cluster sampling was followed to extract a sample including 3500 school going boys and girls aged between 11-14 years in India. The sample was primarily categorized into experimental and control groups. Both the groups were assessed in terms of their intelligence quotient, focus factor, decision-making ability, creative quotient, cognitive capacity, and estimation level thrice during the timeline of 12 months. Standardized cognitive ability assessment and multiple intelligence assessments were administered on them. Experimental group availed intervention whereas the control group was excluded from intervention. The intervention was provided in the form of task-sheets based on the age and respective dominant multiple intelligence of each student. Eventually, a significant surge was notified in the cognitive abilities of the experimental group while there was no such noticeable change in the cognitive abilities of the control group. Therefore, it was concluded that the cognitive abilities of the children can be enhanced drastically if the educational instructions are imparted through their respective dominant intelligence. Hence, the educational system can become highly productive to bestow inevitable improvement in the development of cognitive abilities among students.
